MTSIC HATH CHARMS
A few nights ago a musical organ
ization in New Bern ? the Choral
Club ? Rave an entertainment in Cen
tenary church. It seems that a fea
ture of the performance was an or
gan recital by Archibald J. .Robin
son. of Cambridge, England, which,
as the New Bern Suit describes It,
"was one of the rarest- treats the
people of New Bern have yet had
the pleasure of hearing." That is
undoubtedly a great compliment to
the renowned organist, but look at
the effect on the people. Says the
Sun:
*'?o well did he hold his hearers
spellbound that they still set in their
seats waiting even after the last piece
had been rendered."
The writer of that must have been
present, anil the effect of the hypnos
is must have been so complete that
to him the use of jtrammar at once
become a lost aiVHe reached a
"setting climax" and- could not, get
away from it, for he does not Bay
how long the people continued to
"set" there, but it is hoped that some
thing has happened to break the
spell ? if not to correct the spelling!
We are reminded of the story of a
fellow who was telling a neighbor
about "setting" a hen. The neigh
bor asked him if he hadn't made a
mistake in the use of a worjl, and
suggested lhat he probably meant
"slttinff." The follow say the point,
and sidestepped in this way: "It does
n't make any difference to me wheth
er the old hen is setting or sitting;
but what I'd really like to know is.

FEES TO LKGWIiATOP.S.
f Charlotte Observer.)
. It has always been a surprise to us
that every lawyer of integrity and
honor, on becoming a member of
Congress or of his State legislature,
cannot see the distinction between the
relation of lawyer and client and leg
islator and person interested In ape*
ctal legislation. We cannot under
stand how any such man can con
found the tiro relationship*. Bttfl,
we believe there are at times men
who do co with clear conscience and
would be really surprised were their
Conduct criticized or their motives
impugned. A very lamentable case
of this kind occurred In North Caro
to fcta conduct h? W *mM b*
? UnbUMd Ju(U~ ot
| act mvv tor * moment
thought ho bad in tended to act cor
ruptljr or that he vu conscious at
the Mm*, of doing a wrong.
But such eases are occurring con
tinually In this country's legislative
bodies. The latest ease of the hind
which has been brought to public at
tention la that a member of the leg
islature -of Virginia who had been of
fered (400 by a client to secure the
passage of. a law creating a new cause
1 for divorce to fit the case of the leg
islator-lawyer's client While he did
not accept the money offered the leg-!
lslator-lawyer could not understand
'how others should consider it an of-]
fer to bribe him as a legislator to
put the desired legislation through. I
He conatdered It only an offer of a
fee from a client to his lawyer to
lobby for him. How, In lobbying as
| a lawyer, he expected to be able to
lUvjt ^ himself of hii character a*
a member of the body h? wag ex
pected' to influence, we cannot un
derstand; but he seems to have ex
plained It to the satisfaction of. the
members of the legislature, who were
at first Inclined to look upon the af
fair ss an offer to bribe one of their
associates. That legislator escaped all
suspicion of dishonest Conduct by re
fusing the "fee" and disclosing the
proffer, but the fact that he could' not
see how he . would have acted at all
wrongly had he accepted It Is as re
markable as any feature of the case.)
POOR MEN DISQUALIFIED*
(News and Observer.)
When the late Col. Walter L. I
Steele, of Richmond county, was In
Congress ? and few brainier or .more
resourceful men have graced the
House ? there was a discussion In the
cloak room of the expenses necessary
In a Congressional campaign. It re
solved itself into^ui experience meet
ing and each Congressman told how
much he spent in the campaign. Oqe
city Congressman had spent $57,000
and the others had all spent sums
varying from that amount down to
$50^. Col. Steele, had not given in
his experience, and somebody asked
him: "How much did-tt cost you to
be elected. Col. Steele?" He aston
ished them by saying "$1.65." They
began to make inquiries and he said
that he had kept no account of the
railroad fare he paid to go to meet
his appointments, and that $1.65 was
all he spent for meals. In that day
no candidate was expected to pay for
a team and was entertained by some
patriotic man who was glad to carry
him fo the next appointment. The'
modern method of hiring men to
work at the polls, writing letters to j
every voter, and lending money to,
every sucker did not then disgrace
our politics.
Recently Senator Flint, of Califor
nia, made this statement of his ex
penses: "Campaign cost $57,000.
Expenses in .Washington during six
year term. $60,000. Total. $117,
000." At S7.500 a year salary the
Senator draws during his term $43,
00U. An addition of $3,000 to this
for mileage and small allowances
brings the receipts up to $50,000.
Thus his outlay exreeds his Income
by $67,000. He is a rich man. but
his experience Is doubtless duplicated
by otli?*r rich Senators while some
have spent more. There are Scan
to r? whose expenses are s:nali ar.d
who live on less than their snlaries.in

-hc:il.l unite to prevent a continua
tion of such costly methods. It Is
demoralizing and destructive, Th?*
man who takes pay for political work
lo?cs h!s patriotism and the man who
pays him becomes a public enemy.
There is patriotism enough left to
recure good government ' and make
sacrifices for friends without the cor
rupting influence of free spending of
money.
There are some things we do not
understand about the recent sample
drama at Durham. The mayor ap
pointed as censors three ^men upon
whose judgment and fidelity he could
rely. Excepting the mayor because
of his responsibility, what necessity
was there for the mayor, the iftem

Doctor Since He Advised
Her to Take Cardai.
CarrsvlUc, Ky.? "My doctor," writes
1 Mrs. Ha: lie Cfifn, "who advised me to
lake Cardui, (or nsy troubles, is n mighty
fine doclor, and I'say Gcd bless Carutii
and the people who make it.
"Before 1 took Cardui, I suffered with
le.T.aie troubles tor sixteen years. I
would have to send for a doctor every
three month, and eh! how dreadfutiy I
suffered!
"1 would cramp and have convulsions
and it looked like I would die. At last I
took Cardui and oht what a surprise! 1
found it was the medicine for me!
"From the first bottle, I began to mend
and now I am well, can do more work.,
can walk and go where I please and it
don't hurt me, and 1 owe it all to Cardui."
Cardui helps sick women back to
health. It has been doing this for over
50 years. It is not a laxative, or a heart
or kidney medicine? it is a woman's
medicine. ?*?
